Beschreibung:
In 2001, Bob Burrows received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Victoria University, at the University of Toronto, in recognition of a lifetime of service to the United Church and his community. He began his work on the British Columbia coast as minister and captain of a mission boat based at Ocean Falls in 1960. From 1981-84 he was Chair of the national United Church Committee responsible for all mission hospitals across Canada. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
"Healing in the Wilderness" is an intriguing account of the United Church's 115 year-long commitment to providing medical aid to people scattered throughout Canada's vast wilderness.
